For complex peptide separations, the key to success can be to vary selectivity. Varying mobile phase composition on the same column can change selectivity enough to resolve peptides that would otherwise overlap. Trifluoroacetic acid is the most frequently used modifier for peptide separations in reverse-phase HPLC. The TFA concentration usually specified is 0.1%. For reproducible separations from run-to-run or from lab-to-lab, it is essential to make TFA concentrations the same.
